Beer With Kyle: A Preview of the New Communities!

Hey Everyone,
In today’s update, I share some exciting news on our new training environments at Wealthy Affiliate, featuring a streamlined core training UX and a sneak peek at our Communities feature, which ties directly into our points system and leaderboards.

Beer of the Week

Before we get rolling though, this week’s beer is Teddy’s Boxing and Fitness Million Dollar Baby, a collab between Teddy’s Boxing and Small Gods Brewery. This cosmic punch hazy pale ale (5.5% ABV) pours hazy and tastes punchy, perfect for spring and summer.

Streamlined Core Training & Classes

Our team has been working hard on upgrading the core training environment and class series. Here’s what you need to know:

• Simplified UX: Training modules no longer pop up unexpectedly, so you can follow along with tutorials without losing your place.
  
• Clean Layout: Redesigned video tutorials and series are organized for easy access, letting you focus on learning.
  
• Seamless Integration: Core training is now accessible directly from your hubs and communities, cutting down extra clicks and improving your workflow.

Introducing Communities: Focused Learning & Creatorship

We’re rolling out a brand‑new Communities tab. Communities bring all topic‑related content. This includes blog posts, videos, classes, and discussions... into one place.
Here’s why it matters:

• Topic‑Based Organization: Join communities for SEO, YouTube, social media, and more. All relevant content and activity for that topic appears in your sidebar.
  
• Creatorship & Contribution: Easily create blog posts, questions, or videos within each community. Your activity boosts your points, earnings, and leaderboard rank.
  
• Elastic & Scalable: As new trends emerge, we’ll spin up new communities to keep you ahead of the curve with real‑time updates.

This is going to take the creatorship, the community, and the training to another new level here at WA. The most current training in the industry, but the experts that are in the trenches. :)

I’d love your feedback on the new training UX and Communities feature. Do these updates make learning and contributing easier? Drop your thoughts in the comments below.
